BRTeller Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Tyler, my mom, and me, went up to Hershey for springtime in Hershey. We had a pretty cool time, and the first half of the day there weren't any waits. Except five minutes for Great Bear. So we went and rode all the coasters, and then got a ton of pictures of Fahrenheit. We called ahead to see if we could get a construction tour, and said we were supplying pictures for websites. But unfortunately no construction workers with hard hats were there today. Probably since it was Sunday. We plan on setting up some kind of appointment, and preview. I'm planning on maybe making it some kind of group thing. But I will have to talk to management again. So it was a good day, went to the zoo, and kind of just relaxed. Also took a bunch of pictures. I do have some extra photos here of fahrenheit. Here's the full photo report! To hold you over for awhile. Yes I know it's awesome. I leave you with this shot of Fahrenheit. Yeah, that's right, I touched it....AGAIN.... This time I got proof. The last remaining supports and track, then its circuit of track is complete. Guess what I did.... This thing is just going to be pure awesome. Thought this was pretty cool, its some gear for the duel chain. I thought I knew the true meaning of twisty goodness, but I was wrong. Believe me I know now. Also notice the duel chain. I do believe it is! "Fahrenheit" picture time. Well this station wasn't here before, is it what you've been waiting for? Comet from the station. We also didn't forget about, Comet. I kind of like this picture. We didn't forget about you Sidewinder. But we did forget about Trailblazer! On purpose. See, all about the birds! Hey, look, it's Flying Falcon. It's all about the birds. Fahrenheit, Meh. Its all about howler! One more of Storm Runner, I have enough of these pictures. So I didn't focus that much on taking more. Storm Runner, an ok ride, but gets old. But there was a plus, no wait! Next up, Great Bear. My favorite ride in the park, hopefully not for long. There it is! Well I guess there were some construction workers in the park, but only at Coal Cracker. There's something missing here, huh?

Dorneypark_fan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Awesome trip report! Hershey is one of the best parks ever. Fahrenheit looks so much bigger than I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Awesome pictures!! Thanks for posting, I really can't wait to get there this May! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The norweigen roll (intamin pretzel loop) looks a lot bigger than I was expecting. Hopefully there'll be a nice pop of airtime at the beginning of that roll before flipping over. I'm sure it will be a great ride that'll fit right into Hersheypark.

Ccron10 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Looks like Sunday was a better day to go. But I did get a few walk-ons with GB and SW on Saturday, but at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRTeller Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks guys, yes Sunday was a pretty good day. To bad the sun came out right when we were getting ready to leave, but oh well it wasn't that bad. Also yeah Fahrenheit was much bigger then I expected, and it looks real nice. So I can't wait for it this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnz Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Twisty goodness galore! Nice pics, but I still think the colour scheme for Fahrenheit is a little yucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just curious if Sidewinder got a paint job prior to this season? I'm not the kind of guy who memorizes every color of every Vekoma Boomerang, but I remember it looking like pure crap last year, and those pictures make it look......slightly more appealing?? Fahrenheit looks incredible! From the animation I had no idea it would be that compact. It sure looks like it has quite a bit of elements, just hoping it doesn't get painful!!

BRTeller Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yeah it did, I noticed it right away. I forgot to add that into the description, but it clearly did get a paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes it did get a paint job. I believe they started it during Hersheypark in the Dark last fall. I remember parts of the ride having new paint on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay719 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Awesome pictures. I am really looking forward to Fahrenheit. But I hope they don't get rid of canyon river rapids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRTeller Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks, Yeah I hope that they don't get ride of Canyon River Rapids either, its the best river rapids I've ever been on. -Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
